I don't really want to give up any particular food or drink. But I am willing to adjust my day to pay for the calories. Although I have been having a hard time getting as many Buffalo Wings as I would like.0

I love this post, and I will never give up milk chocolate. Everything in moderation, right??0

I will give up whatever I need to to reach my goals but in no way do I expect others to do the same. For years I didn't think I could ever give up alcohol (Vodka with cranberry to be exact) but then here I am today and I have probably had 5 cocktails this year and all of them were on my Vegas trip in September...who woulda thought. :-)0

Real crunchy all natural peanut butter (Adams)
Feta Cheese and Pickles (just a tiny bit every day, satisifes my salt craving)
Real maple syrup for my oatmeal
Come to think of it, this list is probably a mile long because nothing is really off limits, moderation moderation0 -
Just for the record, white rice is actually healthier than brown rice. While brown rice has more nutrients overall, the bran coating actually prevents the human body from being able to digest and absorb them, which basically makes brown rice nutritionally empty to humans.
source?Results show that despite higher nutrients contents of brown rice compared to white rice, experimental datas does not provide evidence that the brown rice diet is better than the diet based on white rice. Possible antinutricional factors present in brown rice have adverse effects on bioavailability of this cereal nutrients.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11347296These results indicate that brown rice should have a higher level of iron fortification than in white rice or be combined with other foods that improve iron availability as meats, vegetables or fruits.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21795429Epidemiologic studies have suggested that higher consumption of white rice (WR) is associated with increased risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, it is unclear whether substituting brown rice (BR) for WR can improve metabolic risk factors. A total of 202 middle-aged adults with diabetes or a high risk for diabetes were randomly assigned to a WR (n = 101) or BR group (n = 101) and consumed the rice ad libitum for 16 wk. Metabolic risk markers, including BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin, and serum lipid, glucose, and insulin concentrations were measured before and after the intervention. Over the course of the intervention, no between-group differences were found for any markers except the serum LDL cholesterol concentration, which decreased more in the WR group compared to the BR group (P = 0.02). However, this effect was observed only among participants with diabetes (n = 47). The reversion rate of reduced serum HDL cholesterol was marginally higher in the BR group (14.9%) than in the WR group (6.9%) (P = 0.07). Among participants with diabetes, a greater reduction in diastolic blood pressure was observed in the BR group compared to the WR group (P = 0.02). Our study suggests that incorporating BR into the daily diet for 16 wk did not substantially improve metabolic risk factors. Further studies with larger sample sizes, longer durations of follow-up, and different varieties of rice are needed to carefully examine the role of BR in the prevention and management of diabetes.
It's just a myth.0 -
dark chocolate - but not the factory made crap like hersheys.
Red wines and full flavored beers (although I rarely drink anyways)
Dates0 -
Whipped cream! (with some kind of chocolate under it), my grandma's homemade cookies and alcohol... But not together (and hopefuly in smaller potions)0

Love this. I needed to see this post. I refuse to give up white rice too. I've been on a brown rice kick lately but after buying a bag of white I'm reminded of it's deliciousness. Also Bacon, Liquor, and any sweet treats I like in moderation.0

good ol' burgers and fries...om nom0

Sushiiiii0

I love this post! I completely agree with you in that I'm not trying to become some fitness obsessed person who has next to no body fat and eats an impossible diet. I just want to lose weight and be healthy and happy. I know that I will never be able to resist certain things, but I also know that everything is ok in moderation.
Alcohol is definitely not being given up any time soon! I can limit my intake more, but sometimes I need a beer or margarita after a long day or a glass of wine when I'm stressed. And sometimes I just want to go out with my friends and have a fun time!
Pizza is definitely something I can't give up either! Or the occasional trip to Buffalo Wild Wings. Yummm!0 -
I wont give up my diet hot chocolate drink, even though it probably contains various nasties.
I wont give up my splenda yet as I haven't found a decent stevia alternative that works in my coffee and hot chocolate.
I wont give up having some store bought meals like veggie sausages, fish pie and moroccan vegetables and chickpeas with quinoa, because I am just not in the right place of mind to get into cooking from scratch right now. Hopefully it wont kill me to have packaged meals still, given Marks and Spencer has pretty clean ingredient lists.
I wont give up chocolate or the occasional piece of cake, cupcake or muffin when having a coffee out.
However I fortunately also fill the rest of my diet with fish, steamed vegetables, fruit, greek yoghurt, eggs, cottage cheese, nuts and oatmeal so I don't think I am doing too badly.0 -

Have to agree there, I must say, some I have met in the fitness industry, especially some of the personal trainers I have met, are the most boring people in terms of their obsession with living on lettuce, egg whites, chicken, cottage cheese and not much else.0 -
I love this post!
I refuse to give up on real sugar, burgers, fries, ice cream, cheese, bread and the occasional can of ice cold Coke.0 -
all in moderation... bacon, cheese, and chocolate. and not all at once0

Life just isn't worth living without being able to go out with friends for thai food and finish it off with a delicious scoop of ice cream (I'm a sucker for anything salted caramel, earl grey tea, burnt caramel or fig jam.I can't resist trying pretty much any flavour out of the ordinary) My other weaknesses are soft white cheese on crusty sourdough, Salmon and avocado sushi with white rice (brown rice sushi is plain wrong) and steak and brie pizza with a swirl of hollandaise sauce. I just try to limit myself to having these sorts of things once or twice a week in decently sized portions and its all good.
I'm currently working on trying to make sure that when I eat the less healthy options, its because i'm going to really enjoy them and not because I've forgotten to pack my lunch to work and I have to buy something unhealthy.0 -
Bread and cheese, everything else I'm pretty much ok with0
